Wine Will Eat Itself, Jeremy Pringle, 13-4-2014

A good vintage for McLaren Vale and a good year for Oliver’s Taranga Shiraz. This is giving and fleshy yet never formless.

Mulberries, cinnamon dusted blueberries, milk chocolate, nutmeg and licorice all cleverly bound with oak, ensconced acidity and grainy tannin. Very much what I expect from the both the vineyard and producer. 91

Aroma

Loads of plummy fruit on the nose, backed up by generous spice, dark chocolate and toasty oak

Palate

Brilliant freshness, bursting with forest fruits and dense chocolate mocha notes. The palate is typically generous, with loads of fine tannin giving structure to the wine, and a long finish. Enjoy with slow-roasted beef cheeks and heirloom root vegetabl
